Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for mincing food having at least one cutting blade or at least one grater and having a feed device through which food to be minced is feedable to the cutting blade or, as the case may be, to the grater.
- a device for mincing food which has a feed device for feeding the material to be cut or grated to a cutting or grating device, is described in German Utility Model Patent DE 201 17 358 U1.
- the feed device of this and other such devices for mincing food in particular, those which are manufactured in injection molding processes, have a conical design, the cone angle typically being only a few degrees. The reason for this is that, otherwise, the feed device would not be readily demoldable during the fabrication process, particularly during injection molding. Another reason is that ease of insertion and removability of the pusher should be ensured.
- the cone angle is typically so small (approximately 2-3 degrees) that the user does not detect this optically.
- it is disadvantageous that the material to be minced often jams when it only just fits into or is even larger than the filling opening and had been pressed into the same by the user.
- An aspect of the present invention is to provide a device for mincing food which will make it possible to prevent the material to be cut from jamming in the feeder device.
- the present invention provides a device for mincing food having at least one cutting blade or grater and a feed device.
- Food to be minced is feedable through the feed device to the at least one cutting blade or grater.
- the feed device includes parallel first and second mutually opposing inner walls.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional drawing of a device for mincing food according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 schematically shows the manufacturing of a feed device in an injection-molding process, given an open injection mold
- FIG. 3 shows the manufacturing of the feed device given a closed injection mold.
- the conicity of the feed device through which the food product to be minced is feedable to the cutting blade or, as the case may be, to the grater, that is optically not at all discernible and is mostly inherent to the manufacturing process, is responsible for the jamming, in particular, of rigid material to be cut, such as hard cheese or garlic.
- the inner cross section of the feed device be annular in design.
- the annular cross section may be obtained, for example, by using spaced-apart cones and/or conical sections to form the inner volume of the feed device. It may also be provided that the inner volume of the feed device have a conical inner bounding wall at the perimeter and that a conical core, whose outer surface is disposed in parallel to the conical inner bounding wall, be configured in the feed device.
- these specific embodiments when working with devices for mincing food where the feed device is rotated over the cutting blade or, as the case may be, the grater, these specific embodiments have the advantage that the region of the cutting blade or of the grater, through which the axis of rotation extends, is covered by the core, so that no material to be cut reaches that region; also, since virtually no relative movement would occur in this region between the cutting blade or, as the case may be, the grater and the material to be minced, no cutting or grating action occurs in this region.
- the feed device may be movably—in particular rotationally—mounted relative to the cutting blade, or rather to the grater.
- a driving element may be provided within the feed device to transfer the rotary motion of the feed device to the material to be minced.
- This driving element may be designed as a separating wall or as an indentation or a bulge.
- the device for mincing food provides for the cutting blade or, as the case may be, the grater to be configured at the bottom of a beaker. Additionally, it may be provided for the feed device to be rotationally mounted within the beaker, it being possible, in particular, to provide that the feed device be easily removable from the beaker, especially to facilitate cleaning of the device. A re-releasable detent device may be provided, for example, for rotationally fixing the feed device within the beaker.
- the beaker have a conical design, in particular, to facilitate removal of the feed device.
- the feed device it is advantageous that the feed device have the same conicity on the outside that the beaker has on the inside.
- a pusher may be provided that is introducible into the feed device.
- the feed device of the device for mincing food may be fabricated cost effectively and in relatively large quantities, preferably in one piece, in injection-molding processes.
- the present invention provides that the mold form of the injection mold that shapes the interior space of the feed device have a multipart—at least two-part—design.
- the mold of the injection mold that shapes the interior space of the feed device be composed of inversely movable parts that are at least partially conical.
- the conical parts may preferably be joined together in such a way that the mutually opposing outer surfaces of the assembled parts are disposed in parallel to one another, so that, in the final analysis, these outer surfaces make it possible to produce the mutually parallel inner surfaces of the injection-molded part, namely of the feed device.
- the device for mincing food is able to be used for rigid and hard foodstuffs, such as nuts, garlic and the like, and it may also be specially designed as a garlic cutter.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for mincing food 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention having a first cutting blade 2 and a second cutting blade 3 which are configured radially at the bottom of a beaker 4 .
- a feed device 6 that is rotationally mounted about an axis of rotation 5 is configured in beaker 4 , this feed device being held with the aid of a re-releasable detent device 7 that is composed of a peripheral groove configured in the beaker and a bead configured on the outer periphery of feed device 6 .
- a pusher 8 which, in the top region, also engages on the exterior of feed device 6 at the top end thereof, is introducible into feed device 6 .
- Feed device 6 features a driving element that is designed as a separating wall and is disposed perpendicularly to the cutting direction and is, therefore, not shown.
- Pusher 8 is slit in such a way that it engages over the separating wall, so that, in response to rotation of pusher 8 , feed device 6 is simultaneously corotated; accordingly, pusher 8 transmits a torque to the feed device.
- pusher 8 is pulled out of feed device 6 , thereby allowing the material to be minced to be subsequently filled in from above.
- Feed device 6 has a conical inner bounding wall 9 at the perimeter.
- a conical core 10 whose outer surface 11 is disposed in parallel to the conical inner bounding wall 9 , is configured in feed device 6 .
- FIG. 2 shows schematically how feed device 6 —whose conicity is exaggerated in this figure—together with core 10 may be produced in one piece in the injection molding process without any demolding problems arising.
- the injection mold has a two-part design and is composed of a first mold part 12 and a second mold part 13 .
- the inner surfaces forming the interior space of feed device 6 namely conical inner bounding wall 9 and outer surface 11 of core 10 , are formed by the cooperation of individual conical molded parts 14 , 15 , which, in the case of a closed injection mold, mutually position themselves in such a way that altogether parallel surfaces are obtained which render possible the injection of mutually parallel, conical inner bounding wall 9 and outer surface 11 of core 10 .
